President William Ruto meets elected leaders from 3 North Rift Counties at Eldoret State Lodge

This meeting followed President Ruto's attendance at a Christmas thanksgiving service at the Eldoret Sports Club on the previous day, which was organized by religious and political leaders from Uasin Gishu County.

Ruto has been in Uasin Gishu county for the past few days, hosting hundreds of locals at his Sugoi rural home on Christmas Eve.
